CAPT. ". 4. ESK Il

This gentleman, whose name will
be found in our announcement col
umn a. a candidate for State Senator,
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic party, Is we'll known, by repu-
%tation, at least, to most of our people.
He has long enjoyed the distinction
of being one of the most prominent
citizens of our sister county Of Talla-
hatchie, and Is universally recognized
as one Of the ablest members of the
bar of this Judicial District. He is
not with int experience in Legislative
matters, having served n term
before the war, and also as a member
of the House in the last Legislature,
and upon both occasions acquitted
himself with satisfaction to his con-
stituents and honor to himself. He
Is a man of sound discretion and ma.
ture judgment, and 1t will be Il hard
matter to find a man within the dis
trict better qualified to satisfactorily
discharge all the duties Of this Office
than Captain Scott Eskridge.

We received last week the an
nouncement OF this brilliant young
statesman TOO late to give it editorial
notice, Mr.. Longstreet made his
debut in politics two years ago, when
he was selected by the Democrats as
their standard bearer in what was
expected to be a hard contest, He
soon proved the wisdom Of the selec-
ton, and made a canvass never ex-
celled for brilliancy and spirit in the
annals of Grenada county. Although
but a tyro in politics, and having an
old, able and eloquent politician
pitted against him, he completely
routed his opponent, causing him to
retire from Tie field before the cleo
ton, leaving his young rival a walk
e at the polls. In the Legislature
be soon gained a very high stand,
which he maintained with ease to
the end. He is a young man of great
capabilitv, and no matter what the
emergency, he always rises equal to
it. In our opinion, lie is n of the
coming men of Mississippi, when the
present generation of great men shall
nave passed away. We presme be
will have no competition, as this viii
be his second term.

We would ask Of the reader . peru
sal Of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society advertisement in this issue OF
the GAZETTE, and q comparison Of
the figures which it sets forth with
those of half a dozen other of the
most prominent life insurance COM
panies in the United States; and also
Il consideration of the ''tontine' plan
which the Equitable offers. The facts
aud figures given in the advertise
ment are so plain and comprehensi-
BILE that we deem it unnecessary to
offer any explanation. This strong
and rapidly growing life assurance
society is represented by Mr.. r. ?.
Lake, otthis city, who is well known
to eserybody in this section, and who
now appears a full-tiedged general IN
surance agent. After you have eX-
am!ned the advertisement 90 at once

should be without.

The sociable given by the y. NJ. G.
A. on Friday night of last week, was
II Of the most enjoyable occasions
of the kind in the annals of Grenada.
The guests assembled at the room,
where they were most heartily well
coined by the young men. After
a song in which ali joined, there was
prayer led by Mr.. Miller. BY request
DR.. Sullivan addressed the assembly,
principally reviewingthe past history
of this tiourishing institution. 1t
was q most eloquent and impressive
address, and was well received.
Then those present repaired to the
Methodist Church, where all the
dainties Of the season had been
spread by the good ladies of Grenada,
After a couple of hours Of fun and
%frolic, the participants returned to
their respective homes, the universe
opinion being that it was a most de-
cidsd success.

The New Missisaippian pas sssttled
the druinmArs tag, and dpnates II to
the Confederate nonunlent. Y says
tia. it amounts t O about thirty nous
aud dollars, and chat the next leg
jslat.re must re}und it Or the honor
Of the State would be compromised.
hIu fact, a till to refund this money,
wrongfully taken from the CONNER
cial travellers, gould hardly meet
with any opposition ia It's laiiguage
On the subject. Furthermore harry
Hamilton, n of the G. 7. aforesaid,
proposes to donate the whole business
10 The Confederate monument. 1t
winds up the article by saying
t'ThQse drummars who are willing TO
do so can send their receipts to the
editor of this paper, and the amount
Of the receipts will be placed to theIF
credit as contributed to the mGnur
ment fund" This is a nice scheme,
very sentimental and even poetscal
but like a great many other sent!-
mental and poetical CONCERNS, il Is
sadly lacking in common sense. We
wonder if the editor Of the New Mis-
sissippian, in all his g%uileless inno-
oence and sweet simplicity, ever
imagined. for n brief instant, that
this money 'wronglully taken' was
a loss to the drummer in psTson0h9.
Fol his information we will state
that "the house" which drummer
represents usually pays all the neces-
sary expenses of its representative,
and the consumers of the goods ham
died by the house inp0rioJW pay at
the expenses of the "hoie concern,
The consumers in Mississippi have
long since paid the drummers' tax
and sometimes thirty, sometimes
sixty and in many instances an hun
bred fold. The houses that paid out
this tax have long since gotten their
money hack with interest, and the
State of Mississippi s,neithel morally
or legally bound to refund T. cent.
While We have as much regard for
the honor Of the State ;ts any reason
able man within her limits, and
while We are anxious to see a monu-
ment rise to the skies as a fitting
tribute to her gallant sons who gave
their lives in defense Of the cause we
love so we'll, still we think that this
is one time when the State would
better be just than generous, when
we would much better try to get out
of debt than into a monument. With
all due respect for the noble senti-
ment that inspired the editer of that
very able and influential journal on
this occasion still, it does seem to US
he is just little too previous.

We call attention to the announce
ment for Chancery Clerk in this issue,
of Mr.. J. c. Windham, subject, OF
course, to the action of the Demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Windham is well
known to the voters OF Grenada coun-
ty, by whom he vas twice elected to
fill the very responsible Office Of
Assessor. He served his party and
his county faithfully in that position
for four years, and we have every
reason to believe that hewouid do the
same thing as Chancery Clerk. Mr..
Windbam is a hard working, indus
trious farmer, a good citizen, a good
Democrat and an honest man. Upon
these qualifications he ome before
the Democracy and asks for their
suffrage. Should he be elected, we
feel no hesitancy in guaranteeing
that he will discharge the duties OF
the Office to the entire satisfaction Of

We call attention to a c9Hmupi-
cation in this issue from ''SeHeX." on
the Interstate Conlmerca fraud.
Senex reminds us that we have a
water ooursp hard by, which, IN Che
DAYS of Lang Syne, was orr only
channel of intercourse with the COM
;nercial world, and we fail to see
why it should not he utilized again
for the same wise. purpose. We 40
not pretend to understand this great
Interstate Commerce law. 1t is
fearfully and wonderfully made, and
what Il really is, 10 man knnweth.
If we mistake not, however, M
clause of it permits railroads to make
lower rates where they have to COM
nete with steamboats,; or, in other
words, allows railroads to compete
with waterways. Ifthere Is anything
in this, Grenada should hasten to
lake advantage Of it. More tl.an this,
if the railroads will not recognize the
fact that Grenada has a navigahle
stream for an outlet, they should be
made to feel it. There are several
lines of boats now plying the ITALIA,
hatchie that could be easily INDUCED
TO extend their trade to Grenada, II
our shippers will hold out the proper
inducements. II there is anything
in this river for Grenada, we are
entitled to il, and must have It,. No
danger now of Che railroads raising
tariff on freight when boats cannot
run, They can't do THAI now.
